  Call for Proposals for the 2026 Imgery International Conference:
  Grounding in Imagery: Pathways to Empower and Thrive.

  
  

  For many today, life feels more chaotic than ever. There may never be a time when grounding is needed more. As you practice imagery with your clients and patients, are you guiding them to become more grounded? Are your skills influencing them to feel empowered to truly thrive? We invite you to submit a proposal to share your imagery practices at our 18th Annual Virtual Conference in a live workshop. We ask that your focus embraces our theme of Grounding in Imagery: Pathways to Empower and Thrive. 

  
  

  ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

  The Call for Proposals for the 2026 conference will open on March 1, 2026. We will provide a link to the submission form at that time.

  To prepare your proposal, please have these elements ready for submission:

  • Name, address, email & phone number
  • 25-50 word biography
  • Title of your Presentation or Workshop and how it directly relates to our theme "Grounding In Imagery: Pathways To Empower and Thrive"
  • 150 word abstract
  • Detailed outline, for 75 minute presentation, including experiential elements
  • Three learning objectives for your presentation
  • Three citations to support your presentation

  A Note on Learning Objectives

  A well-written learning objective is stated from the learner’s perspective, uses only one action verb, and describes a specific, measurable outcome. Common action verbs include: list, cite, describe, define, identify, experience, practice, and examine.

  A learning objective does not need to cover your entire presentation. It may focus on a specific component. For example, based on the sample objectives below, your presentation would need to include content that enables participants to identify when grief is a major cause of anxiety and depression, describe at least three techniques for working with clients experiencing grief, and observe demonstrations of EFT and imagery techniques. Your presentation may include additional material beyond what is listed in the objectives.

  
  

  Examples of Learning Objectives:

  1. Identify when grief is a major cause of anxiety and depression.

  2. Define three effective techniques for assisting clients with grief issues.

  3. Observe a demonstration using EFT and imagery to help resolve grief issues.

  Modus Operandi (MO)Technique Foundational Training

  10-Week Live Immersion | July 2026
  Maureen Minehan Jones will be teaching the foundational live transmission of her MO Technique™ beginning in July. This is a small, highly interactive 10-week training for practitioners who wish to deepen their work with the nervous system, emotional integration, and the psychological layers that influence health and healing.
  
  The MO Technique is a complementary approach that focuses on:
  
  • Nervous system regulation
  • Emotional mapping and release
  • Identifying chronic stress patterns
  • Exploring the psychological and emotional themes that may influence illness experience
  • Trauma-informed presence
  • Ethical scope of practice
  
  We examine how unresolved emotional stress and long-standing internal conflicts may impact a person’s physiological stress response — always within a complementary framework.
  
  This training does not diagnose, treat, or cure medical conditions. It enhances practitioner skill in supporting emotional resilience and whole-person well-being alongside conventional medical care.

  Format:
  • 10 consecutive weeks (July 8th– September 9th)
  • Live interactive sessions
  • Limited participants
  • Case discussion and supervised application
